State GOP endorses against will of the people

The Pennsylvania Republican State Committee has shown us once again that it is politics as usual in Harrisburg. The committee members have taken it upon themselves to anoint whom they believe worthy of getting the GOP nod without regard to the voice of "we, the people."

The conservative grassroots groups have been holding protests and tea parties in hopes of breaking free of the shackles that hold our political system hostage. This includes the good old boy network of the GOP State Committee who took it upon itself to not allow the citizens of Pennsylvania to choose whom we want to represent our party.

We, the people, are tired of these games. As I told Sen. Specter at a town hall this summer, "You have awakened the sleeping giant. We are tired of this." My statement goes for the GOP State Committee as well. It has outstepped its bounds and has summarily dismissed the will of the people who stood outside and asked it to not endorse any candidate.

I suggest it wake up to see that the tide is turning. The GOP State Committee has slammed the door on true patriotic leaders such as Rep. Sam Rohrer, who is running for governor. It is time to wake up because we, the people, will no longer tolerate it.
